The three sisters of the Song family can be said to be the most dazzling celebrity in the Republic of China period, Song Meiling married Chiang Kai-shek and became the wife of the president of the Republic of China, the status is self-evident, Soong Qingling became the wife of Sun Yat-sen, although Song Xiaoling was not so prominent as the two, but married to Kong Xiangxi, minister of finance of the Republic of China, it can be said that the three sisters of the Song family are not ordinary, no matter the status of the world is unmatched. Of course, personal talent is also quite extraordinary.
In January 1906, the 17-year-old Song Xialing attended a banquet in the White House, at the banquet the President of the United States asked Song Xialing how he felt about the United States, according to common sense, to enjoy the hospitality of others on people's territory, it is necessary to say something beautiful to say, but no one expected that Song Xialing did not play cards according to the routine, she was very bold to say her own words, so that everyone present was stunned, and the President of the United States was even more embarrassed.
It is hard for everyone to imagine that Song Xialing was only 17 years old at the time, and in the face of the US President's question, he calmly replied: The United States is indeed a very beautiful country, and I have stayed here very happily, but why do you say that the United States is a free country? America is not free at all. She then quickly recounted her previous summer's encounter in San Francisco.
At that time, Song Xialing set off from Shanghai to study at the Westrian Women's College in the United States, she took a cruise ship to the port of San Francisco, but when she was ready to go ashore, the prosecutor said that her passport was fake, immediately detained her, and detained her for four weeks before allowing her to land, every time she thought of it, she was furious, she said to the president: If the United States is really so free, why would a Chinese girl be turned away? We in China will never treat guests who go to China in this way, so how can the United States still be said to be a free country?
This remark made everyone dumbfounded, the president also made a dumb mouth, but in the depths of his heart he admired this 17-year-old Chinese girl very much, in 1910 Song Xialing graduated and returned to China, the American media have predicted that Song Xialing has learned a wealth of knowledge in the United States, and his mind is so smart, he will become the president's wife after returning to China. However, although she did not become the president's wife, she eventually married the minister of finance Kong Xiangxi, which is also quite extraordinary.
It should be known that the Kong family is also one of the four major families of the Republic of China, and Song Xialing later became the creator of the Song family myth, but also the designer of the Song family dynasty in power, she is also a rare strong woman in the world, after the liberation of the country, Song Xialing has been living in the United States, on October 19, 1973, he died of illness in New York Presbyterian Hospital at the age of 84, and his body was buried in the Fengkolif Senior Indoor Cemetery on the outskirts of New York.
